Abstract

Neotectonic and morphometric studies in Marés River watershed are justified by the fact that it is situated on a single lithology -Barreiras Formation, and show changes along the longitudinal profile, not justified by climatic or lithologic factors. While not possessing significant volume of water in the main river channel, it has grooved its valley significantly, pointing to a possible neotectonic influence in the area. For analysis of the watershed were used: a topographic map in scale 1:25,000 Santa Rita and the Spring 5.2 software, for the making of thematic maps and execution of morphometric index. The values obtained and the morphological characteristics of the basin indicate the influence of recent tectonic activity of the area.
